Large City


 II any one were to walk one way through the streets of London, he would be obliged to A distance of two thousand six hundred miles, or as far as 1t is across the American con tinent from New York to San Fran cisco. This will give an idea of what would have to be done in order to see even the greater part of London.
 In our approach to this city, as well as in our rambles through its streets, we shall not be struck so much by its ! splendid and, imposing appearance as by its immensity. Go where we may, there seems to be no end to the tewn. It is fourteen miles one ,yay, and eight the other, and contains a population of nearly four million people, which is greater, indeed, than that of Switzer- land or the kingdoms of Denmark and Greece combined. We are told, on good authority, that there are more Scotchmen in London than in Edin- burgh, more lrishmen' than in Dublin, and more Jews than ln Palestine, with fOl eIgners from all parts of the world, including a great number of Aneri- cans. Yet there are so many English men in London that one Is not likely to notice the presence of these people of other nations.
 This vast body of citizens, some so rich that they never can count their money, and some so poor that they never have any to count, eat every year four Hundred thousand oxen, one and half million sheep, eight million chickens and game birds, not to speak of calves, hogs, and different kinds of fish. They consume five hundred million oysters, which, although it seems like large number, would on ly give, if equally divided among all the people, one oyster every third day to each person. There are three hun dred thousand servants in London, enough people to make large city; but as this gives only one servant to each dozen citizens, 1t is qp1te evident that great many of the people must wait on themselves. Things are very unequally divided in London; and I have'no doubt that instead of there being one servant to twelve persons, some of the rich lords and ladies have twelve servants apiece.-St Nicholas for June.

To Ge. n.d of cOekroacaos


 A correspondent writes as follows: q beg to forward you an easy, clean, and certain method of eradicating those Ioathsome insects from dwelling houses. A few yeats ago my house was infested with cockroaches, and l was recommended to try cucumber peelings as a remedy. 1 accordingly ! immediately before bedtime, strewed the floor of those parts cf the house most infested with the vermin with the green peel. cut not very thin,fl om the. GuenF ber5 and, sat ae 'EaiF an Eodis later than usual to watch the effect. Before the expiratloi, of that time th5 floor where tlsEsel lay waS com ] pletely covered With eockroaches, SC -puch so that the vegetable could not be seen, 50 voratloUsIy were they en- gagged ID sucking the poisonous moist ure from It! l adopted the same plan the following night. but my visitors were not near so numerous s-l should think not more than a fourth of the previous. night. On the third night 1 did not discover one; but, anxious to ascertain whether the house was quite clear of them, exahlincd the peel af- ter I lad laid 1t down about half an hour, and perceived that It was GOV cred with myriads of minute cock reaches, about tue size of flea. I therefore allowed th3 peel to remain till morning, and from that moment have not seen a cockroach in the house; t is very old building. and I can as- sure you that the above remedy only requires to be persevered in fer three or four nights to completely eradicate the pest. Of course It should be fresh cucumber peel every night-Confee- tioner's Journal.

< Strange Freak

|
 A dispatch to She Globe Democrat
 from Asheyille, N. C., says: Conspicu-
 ous among the freaks of nature in this
 section of the State is that one just re-
 ported from the little town of Cooper,
 eight miles east of this city, on the
 Western North Carolina Railroad. h.
 formation this morning reached here that at that place, on yesterday, a child with two heads had been born. Finding the physician, Dr. s. l. Will son, who attended the mother, he con frmed the report and gave f,iil de- scription of the freak. The child has two heads, the faces beng opposite. The front face is perfect, while the one at the back is not regular There is only one neck for the two skulls, and the hair on the forehead comes down to the eyes. The arms of this phe- nomenon are covered with a heavy shaggy growth of hair, entirely to the wrist. A number of people went from the city to see the monstrosity. and were aStounded at its remarkable peculiarities. Ruth and Harvey Lyth, two respectable and hard-working col ored people, are the parents of this strange being. They live in humble cabin, close by the Swannoa river, in the suburbs of the village. The chIld IS an unusually large one, weighing about 16 pounds, and apparently } feet long. It is almost white, and has features that are rather pleasing when the shaggy forehead and rear head IS concealed. It's voice is not that of the human young, but suggestive of the lower animals in its strange, unnatu- ral crles. The mother appears at tached to this strange creature, and refers to it in terms of endearment. Numbers of the curious from the sur rounding community have visited the cabin and gone away III wonder. Al ready the adaptability of the freak to the demands of the museum has been freely discussed, and it IS said that business offers have been made and declined.

Danger Frans E5Cuse FIaEts.

Dr. Salisbury found malarial fever to be propagated among persons sleep ing in q room Tn the windows of which had been placed box of earth from malarious soil. House plants cultiva- ted in pots filled with malarious earth are a constant danger. The germs grow luxuriantlY in the moisture and warm air of closed rooms. Dr. Bich wald, Professor of Clinical Medicine in the University of St. Petersburg, has given to the public facts concerning a patient of his-a lady with malarial fever-who was easily cured by treat ment when confined to her chamber, but who quickly relapsed on remain ing during the day in her parlor. The easy cure and constant relapse went on for long tlme At last the doe tor, having become suspicious of the fiower-pots, removed them from the house, and there was no further re- currence of the disease.

Early Irish History.
[Frnm IInndnn Sncietv.l l

From London Society.
 The wrongs done to Ireland by Eng. land date from the conquest of the former country, in the year 1182, by Henry II, permission to invade the neighboring island having been given to the King some seven years pre- viously by Pope Adrian ". It is not my purpose to dwell in detail on the various wrongs of which Ireland has during more than seven centuries been the victim. That there have been during that period many and formidable risings agalnst British rule IS fact of which history informs us; nor can we wonder greatly at these results. Ireland has been treated ever since her subjugation not as a sister and friend, but as a slave and pos sible enemy; and may perhaps here be allowed to suggest that the state of Ireland at present 1Si alter more than seven centuries of possession, a stand ing disgrace to England's power of governing; and the disgrace is all the greater in that the people whom she was called upon to rule are gifted witk national characteristics which ought to have rendered them a source of pride to thelr conquerors instead of one of perpetual difficulty and danger. Very little is known by the English geherally of the early history of the sister island, and to moss it will be news to hear that long before England had emerged from what may be called the dark days of barbarism and ignor- ance, Ireland was a Christian country, and could boast of her colleges, to which young men from the enl'ght- ened portions Of the continent came for instruction in various branches of education.

CirouBlventing fhe Interstate Commits
 siOHers.

It is said that way has been found around the provisions Of the Interstate commerce law preventing discrimina- tions in frelghts. Naturally the Stand ard Oil Company is credited with hay ing found the way, and its very sim plicity is characteristic of so expe- rienced hand, It is only this; the shipper goes to the railroad company and says "W4 wish tq ship 100,O0O tons. of freight over your lines during the year to such and such destinations, what freight will you charge us?
 The amiablo railroad official blandly answers, we can carry your freight for $100,00O, and the Interstate law will not allow us to give you any ad- vantage over others Tn rates.
 S. That is all right, but we will ons ly give freight to our Mr. Blank. If you will appoint him your freight agent, at salary of $50,00O year, we will give him 100000. tons of freight.
 R. R. That IS satisfactory, and MT. Blank will henceforth be one of our freight agents, and we will pay him the salary as the freight is delivered. Allow me to congratulate you; very neat dev1ce indeed, and worthy of your master mind. If we can only keep it out of those blessed newspa- pers the Interstate Commissioners may not "drop on 1t" for a long time.- Engineering < Mining Journal.

The Moons Influence.

EDIToRs BELT:-l am very sorry tc see that science IS trying to destroy the long standing belief in the moon$ influence upon terrestrial affairs Ny forefathers and foremothers believed in the moon doctrine They did not, 1t is true, carry it so far as old deacon Cobbs did, who believed that the req son so many fell from grace was be- cause they professed religion in the wrong time of the moon. My fore fathers did not go so far as this, but they killed hogs and laid rail fences by the moon and in the slippery days of soft soap, my foremothers made that useful article by the sign in the moon. They planted potatoes in the dark of the moon, and cucumbers in the light of the moon, and 1 have known a few of my ancestors to wait whole month in order to plant the beans when the sign was right. h. deed it can we'll be said of my ances tors that, while not exactly moon eyed, they kept sharp eye upon the moon.
 Many of my fondest recollections cluster around the moon, and I dis like to see science laying cold aud ruthless hand upon this once popular belief. l say this, because I fear that scIence is unsustained by the facts in the case. I ence heard of a man who, in the face of all neighborly counsel, planted hls potatoes in the light of the moon. What was the result2 Que night. while he slept the sleep of the guilty, an old sow with seventeen plgs got the gate open and raised those DO; tatoes in th'rty-seven minutes and a half, by tt old eight day clock that stood in the hail. He went to the res cue with shot gun and two large bare feet, and in the dark he ran against something and knocked his big toe out of place. Nor was thls all. His gun went off and killed one of his oxen who was looking over the fence to see what the racket was about.
 Then, there was old father Sims who did not believe ir the moon doe Urine. He planted his cucumbers in the dark of the moon, ard the neigh borS began to fear he would make it a success. But mark the result. The first time they had cucumbers for sup per, the whole family went to bed well and got up sick. The old lady had the head che; the grown glrl had the toothache; the big boy had the ear ache; both of the small children had tlla stomachache, and ohe old man had a fslon CT h1s thumb which laid him up for six weeks. Nor was this all. They hired man to pick the cucum- bers for pickles, and while he was peering among the thick vines, rat tlesnake bit him on the end of the nose.
 1 think this shows that while sci enco may have the correct theory. the facts cling to the other side.

The Best Tisse lo Baihe.

It is best to bathe just before going to bed, as any danger of catching cold is thus avoided, and the complexion Is improved by keeping warm for sever- al hours after leaving the bath. A couple of pounds of bran put into a thin bag and then in the bathtub IS excellent for softenlng the skin. It should be left to soak in d small quan- tity of water several hours before be- ing used. The internal aids to a clear complexion are most of them we'll known, and the present season is the best for a thorough cleansing and pu- rifying of the blood. The old-fash- toned remedy of sulphur and molasses is considered among the best. Char coal powdered and taken with water IS sald to be excellent, but it is most difficult te take. A strictly vegetable and fruit diet is followed by many for one or two weeks.-Lendon Lancet.

Canadian Independence.

The Isolation of Canada" is dis. cussed by the Montreal Post. It says, inter aka: "In pursuing the path of our own destiny, we have Seen com pelIed to place restrictions on British commerce. And since 1t has ever been the policy of England to force open the gates of trade with foreign lands, even with cannon and bayonets, our action has led to our abandon ment by England, who has practically left us to our own devices in dealing with our powerful neighbor. With natural jealousy, however, she with holds from us the recognition of our right to make our own treaties. Thus, a declaration of Canadian independ7 ence IS fast becoming a necessity, which can not be delayed or avoided. The extent of our territory, its situa- ton on the globe, our illimltable re- sources, the character of our people, all forbid that Canada should long re- main mere appendage to a transat- lantic crown, or become mere side show to the great American circus"

The Panarss Canal Project Doomed
TGlobe-De1nocrat.I


 The Panama Canal scheme IS evi- dently near its end. The nest rella- ble and intelligent of all recent inn partial estimates is that winch is given bJ an officer of the United States na- ", who has just been looking over the ground and studying the matter up. From thls 1t appears that only little over third of the excavation work has been done, and that it would take over seven years more to finish it pro- Vlding sufficient money could be raised and the labor pushed continuously. The expenditures have already reached over S134,000,000, while $250,OOO,O0O additional will be required to complete the work. As the money in the hands of the gentlemen at the head of the affair is nearly all used up, while De Lesseps seems to be expending his persuasive powers in vain among cap ltalists whom he has been relying on for further financial aid, the Panama Canal project may be considered, fgu- ratlvely speaking, to be lon its last legs"
